I have the plugin in order for adobe photoshop to read .dds files and was able to open the file I needed in photoshop so that I can start retexturing. However I was wondering why the opened image was white and not the colors and textures of what the object looks like in game? BTW I'm working with Mehrunes Razor if that helps. Thanks!

Yeah I opened mehrunesrazor_n.dds, mehrunesrazor_m.dds and mehrunesrazor.dds and all three appeared as a white box to me. I'll have to take a closer look at the _n.dds file again. Thank you for your help.
